How can I tell which DNS servers DNSMasq is using to resolve a name to an IP address?
I can't figure it out. All of the existing questions here seem to just go as far as telling users that they are using DNSMasq.

You can find the DNS servers with the NetworkManagerCLI (nmcli) tool:

nmcli dev show | grep DNS

IP4.DNS[1]:                             172.22.216.251

IP6.DNS[1]:                             2a01:4f0:400c:1::1

Ubuntu 14.04 and older

The command is slightly different in older (<15.04) versions of Ubuntu:

> nmcli dev list | grep DNS

IP4.DNS[1]:                             172.22.216.251

IP6.DNS[1]:                             2a01:4f0:400c:1::1
